Cancer Cells Gone Wild: Real Biology Exposed

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Steier and Dr. Sarah Scheinman discuss the complexities of cancer with Dr. Joe Zundell, a cancer biologist. They explore the definition of cancer, its prevalence, and the hallmarks that characterize cancer cells. The conversation delves into the mechanisms of cancer growth, including sustaining proliferative signaling, evading growth suppression through the P53 gene, and the process of apoptosis. The discussion aims to make these complex topics accessible to a broader audience while highlighting the importance of understanding cancer biology. In this conversation, Dr. Joe Zundell discusses the complexities of cancer biology, focusing on key hallmarks such as immune response, replicative immortality, angiogenesis, and metastasis. He emphasizes the importance of early detection and the challenges of targeting cancer cells without affecting healthy cells. The discussion highlights the need for careful consideration of information regarding cancer treatment and the significance of working with healthcare professionals.

Can't You Biopsy That Cancer Trends Are Complicated?

On this week's episode of the pod, Jess is joined by Dr. David Robert Grimes to discuss various aspects of cancer, including prevalence, survivorship, trends, and prevention. They emphasize the importance of understanding that cancer is a complex disease with various forms and causes. They debunk myths and misinformation surrounding cancer, such as the idea that sugar, sunscreen, or deficiency in vitamin C cause cancer. They also highlight the role of screening programs in early detection and prevention, while cautioning against unnecessary tests and over-treatment. They chat about modifiable risk factors for cancer, such as smoking, obesity, and sun exposure -- as well as cellular changes during the aging process. The conversation takes a positive turn when the two discuss the potential of mRNA vaccines in cancer treatment. They emphasize the importance of critical thinking and skepticism when evaluating cancer-related information, particularly on social media. You don't want to miss this!
